COMBINED HASP AND BOLT.

SLECIECATQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,014, dated June 2, 1885.

Application filed June 23, 1834.

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT P. OLMsrnnD, of the city of Troy, county of Rensselaer, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Door or Gate Hosp and Bolt, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to hasps-a class of devices that are used on doors or gates to fasten them. These articles as usually made are constru cted with an eye at one end, through which a clinching-staple is passed to secure the device to the door or door-jamh, with the other end made to have an elongated eye arranged to pass over the eye of a secured staple, so that a padlock or pin may be passed into the latter outside the hasp.

My improvement on this class of devices con sists, as will be more fully detailed hereinafter in connection with its illustration, in the combination, with ahasp made to he secured to the door or door-jamb at one end byan eye on the hasp, and aclinching-staple, of a springbolt attached to the outside of the hasp, an elongated slot arranged in the free end of the hasp,and a staple attached to the door or j amb and provided with a lower eye for the holt on the hasp, and an outer eye for the padlock.

Accompanying this specication, to form a part of it, there is a sheet of drawings containing two figures illustrating my invention and i1nprovement,with the same designation of its parts by letter-reference used in both of them. Of these illustrations, Figure l shows a perspective of a hasp containing my invention, and Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section oi' the same.

The several parts of the hasp and the features containing my improvement and invention are designated by letter-reference, andl the function of the parts is described as follows:

The letter Il designates the hasp-body made with an attaching-eye, E, at one end, adapted to be secured to the door or door-jamb thereat by a staple, T.

The letter B designates a latclrbolt,l and C the housing for the bolt attached to the hasp. The bolt on the under side is recessed at It to receive aspring, S, and this spring has a guide- (No model.)

rod, g, that is parallel to and arranged within the recess R in the side of a lug, p, projected from the face of the hasp up into the recess R, that is made in the bolt. The rear end of the bolt-latch Bis made with an outwardly-projected finger-piece, F, for pulling it out. The latch end of the bolt on its face nearest the hasp is rounded off, as indicated at m.

The letter el designates a bolt-stop on the face of the hasp.

As thus constructed, the boltB is adapted to be drawn out against the force of the spring S by means of the linger-piece, and to be automatically returned when the tension on the finger-piece is released.

The letter El indicates an eye or slot formed in the hasp at its free end at right angles to its sides, and D designates a staple adapted to be attached to the doonjamb or door by means of screws L on the stapleplate P. The face of this staple D has two openings or eyes, O and O2. The lower one, O2, is adapted to 1e ceive the latch end of the bolt, and the outer one, O', is adapted to receive a padlock when the hasp, by means of its eye E2, is passed over the said staple D.

The dotted line cl2 designates the hasp as detached from the staple D and as swung down on its staple-connection at T.

The parts thus made and arranged are used as follows: The hasp being attached to the door M at its eye end E, and the staple D being attached to the door-jamb J by means of screws in thestaple-pla-te P,when the hasp is, by means of its eye E2, passed over the said staple D and pressed in against the door, the bolt latches into the lower opening, O2, being forced there by the spring S, and this fastens the door by the bolt-latch. lVhen it is desired to lock the door from the outside, so that it cannot be opened without unlocking it, a padlock is inserted in and locked in the openinO 0.

'aving thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
